Beltline trim: outmotoring vs. vinylstyles

Is there really a difference between the two? Besides the fact that one is less than half the price of the other?

u know.. I did mines with ELECTRICAL tape (the one that could withstand heat), and it's wide enough, so u dont have to trim it. and it looks BAD ASS and still has not come off and matches the black rubb er parts perfectly.




however, you'll have to leave extra slack at the ends cus it does shrink about 1 cm on each side. ...

Can't compare - but I used Outmotoring and I am Happy.

Vinyl styles has an excellent reputation.

I used electrical tape! Works great! Except I didn't cut mine like his, I wrapped it around the inside of the door! Holds up great and matches perfect!

Just go out and buy a roll of 3M indoor/outdoor eletrical tape. It's around $5 a roll, and a roll has enough to do at least 3 or 4 cars. I matches perfectly and is pretty stretchy so it makes going around the tight corners a breeze. I did mine 3 weeks ago and I've had no problems so far except one corner came up where I didn't dry it good enough, but that was a quick fix.
